This is one of several visualizations created by interns between 2007 and 2015 to help others understand strategies of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993-present) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC (2011-present).
You can view more at this page.
After you view that video, take a look at this one, which I created six years ago:
In this video I showed an animation created in the late 2000s by graduate students from the University of Michigan School of Information to visualize the "It takes a village" message I've been sharing often since forming the Tutor/Mentor Connection in 1993.
I end the video, like I end many blog articles, saying "Create your own version. You can do it better than I did. You can focus on Chicago, or on the city or state where you live."
This photos shows me surrounded by students and volunteers in 1994 as we were just forming Cabrini Connections and the Tutor/Mentor Connection.
This type of gathering takes place in hundreds of location, in a variety of formats. Every organization making this happen is constantly searching for dollars to support their efforts.
I created the Tutor/Mentor Connection to help them attract those dollars, as well as ideas and volunteers that they could use to constantly get better at how they help kids.
If you create your own versions of my videos and graphics and share them often in your networks you are taking on the role that I've piloted. Maybe you'll be a "tipping point" person, who attracts the attention and funding of a major donor like MacKenzie Scott, who funds T/MC strategies at universities in every major city, that grows new leaders to carry this strategy forward for the next few decades.
Do it! Be like Dan!
